They built a wire frame sail boat out of duct tape. Including the

Damn thing actually sailed pretty good. :)

It's looked like the old Town Class racing series boat.

Looked like it sailed pretty well too.



I was more impressed by the duct tape cannon.
I made a 8x16 raft for the Wash DC raft race floating on visqueen and
garbage bags.
8 people partied all day, then got towed in at a pretty good clip.


When is that held? I've never heard of it, in all the years I've been
in and out of here. 'Course, they coulda stopped it.
